Southport monster Axel Rudakubana had over 164,000 documents on devices including jihadi manual & details of genocides
COPS who seized Axel Rudakubana’s electronic devices uncovered a library of hate.
They found more than 164,000 documents stored on two Lenovo tablets.
The fiend, 17 at the time, had also wiped the browsing history on a HP laptop.
One of the tablets was used between May and July 2024 and contained material on Nazi Germany, war in Sri Lanka and ethnic cleansing in Somalia.
One study explored violent customs of 17th and 18th century Native Americans, including themes of cannibalism and blood lust.
Another documented how 5,000 soldiers died in the Russian-Chechen conflict from 1994 to 1995.
Rudakubana’s parents fled Rwanda during its 1994 civil war that left a million people dead in just 100 days.
His dad Alphonse, 49, is believed to have fought with the Rwandan Patriotic Army against the Hutu-dominated regime.
Rudakubana also downloaded “The myth of the remote-controlled car bomb” — explaining their use and effectiveness in terror attacks.
A source said: “He was obsessed with the most appalling atrocities.
“The nastier it was, the more interesting he found it.”
One document, “Military studies in the Jihad against Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual”, contained advice and instruction on committing acts of terror.
By the time he left his family home in Banks, Lancashire, to travel to Southport, he was in possession of specific instructions in the manual about a knife attack.
Another document, called “Strong nitric acid”, is a study on the chemical, used by IS to dissolve 25 spies in 2016.
Det Supt Matt Smith, of Merseyside Police, said: “The material shows his obsession with extreme violence and how he obtained information on how to kill, alongside the procurement of weapons.”
